Chapter 5, Problem 5.28P

A 24 × 40 ft ( 7.3 × 12.2  m ) building has a full basement with uninsulated walls extending 5 ft (1.5 m) below grade. The insides of the walls are finished with R-8 (R-0.7) insulation a thin vapor barrier and 1 2 in. (12.7 mm) gypsum board. Estimate an overall heat-transfer coefficient for the walls.

One vessel having a carbon-steel wall of thickness 5 mm carrying saturated steam and water at 423K. The vessel is insulated with magnesia of thickness 50 mm. If the ambient air temperature is 321 K, determine the heat loss from the vessel. Given: i. thermal conductivity of carbon steel is 52 W/m.K ii. thermal conductivity of magnesia is 0.5 W/m.K iii. surface coefficient of insulation surface is 3 W/m2.K
2) Urethane (k = 0.026 W/m-K) is used to insulate the sidewall and the top and bottom of a cylindrical hot water tank. The insulation is 40 mm thick and is sandwiched between sheet metal of thin-wall construction. The height and inside diameter of the tank are 2 m and 0.8 m, respectively. The tank is in ambient air with T = 10 °C and h = 10 W/m²-K. If the hot water maintains the inner surface at 55 °C, and energy costs amount to $0.15 per kWh, what is the daily cost to maintain the water in storage? Argue that the thermal resistance of the tank wall is negligible. What does this say about the temperature drop across the tank wall?
Consider a long, insulated cable supplying power to a community. It is elevated in the air by using poles. The ambient air temperature is 20oC and the convective heat transfer coefficient is h = 20 W/m2.K. Radiation exchange between the cable surface and the environment can be neglected. Make your calculations considering per meter-length. The wire carries 500 Amp current and has a resistance of 0.0001 Ohm/m. The diameter of the solid core wire is 1.0 cm and has a thermal conductivity of k = 20 W/m.K The electrically insulating material covering the wire-core has a thickness of 0.5 cm with a thermal conductivity of k = 0.01 W/m.K a) What is the rate of heat loss from the cable to the environment in kW/meter? b) What is the outside surface (exposed to air) temperature of the cable? c) What is the temperature of the interface between the insulation sleeve and the core-wire carrying the electric power? If the sleeve material has to remain below 100 oC for the long term, would this…
